the boiled peanuts were very sweet they were definitely not my favorite. It took an hour for them to bring us our food and when it did come my kids cheeseburger sliders cheese wasn't even melted. Our waitress was really nice and the beer was good but overall not the best experience. read more

Nice restaurant in downtown Athens. The atmosphere is great and the servers are very kind. I dined here multiple times in college and do not believe i had a bad meal. Everything on the menu is good. Definitely recommend and am sad there is not one in Atlanta. read more

Stopped by here while in town visiting family. This place has upscale pub vibes with a good variety of options on the menu including a few vegetarian and vegan options. I had the pub burger with the Impossible Burger (vegan patty) instead of beef. It was cooked well and was very tasty. I also had some kind of mai tai which tasted like candy - not overly sweet but had some tart and lots of fruity flavor. You could tell it was a very well crafted cocktail! I would definitely stop by here again if I'm in the area again. read more

My server, Allie, was fantastic! She was personable, super attentive, and made our dining experience a 10/10. i think she should get a raise! best dining experience I've ever had! read more

Now with expanded outside seating! Service is so friendly and helpful. This has been a staple every time I visit Athens for over 10 years and it continues to be so! All the food is excellent, and I bet everyone on yelp has mentioned how amazing their dipping sauces are for the fries including the garlic aioli, blue cheese aioli, and raspberry ketchup - may sound odd but is tremendous. You can still ask for regular ketchup is needed! My favorite burger is the pimento cheese one, but really you cannot go wrong! Check out their beers and cocktails too! I do wish you were allowed to order cocktails from the former HighWire, but completely reasonable that not everything is still stocked. The elderberry mimosa is tops. read more

I had the Buffalo tofu tacos. Very good! Service was a bit lacking but our meal was discounted because of it.

Love love love this place!! Can we pick it up and bring it to SoFL please?? I was visiting Athens for graduation weekend and we stopped here for lunch. I had the triple pig sandwich and it was delightful. Very juicy and the pickled green beans were so good! I got a side salad which was very fresh. I tried my friends fries and they were pretty good. The beer selection was uhhhmazing! And you can get a 1/2 pint for half the price!! Love this option. Such a gem! Also the ambiance was very cute and well-done (modern rustic). read more

This place was ok, I guess if you're into a somewhat uptight vibe. I didn't like the drinks or the environment.

The food was great, the service excellent. We ate at the bar because there was an hour wait. So glad we did because the waitstaff/bartender could not have been nicer and more attentive. read more

Worst experience I have ever had! I ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich, however, it arrived without bacon or ranch and on the wrong bun. The staff didn't even have the decency to inform me of this shortage and gave attitude when I sent it back read more

Was looking forward to herebut they couldn't give us our cocktail bc they said they had only subpar tequila. No music and Bright fluorescent lights felt like I was in a sims simulation. Fries were delicious very salty read more

Say at the bar. Ordered the angus burger and it was delicious along with the fries! The burger comes with sweet pickles, so be aware.

Very busy. Which is a good sign. Hostess was amazing. Very helpful and friendly. Waiter not so much. Waited 15 minutes to order and he seemed rushed. I ordered the French onion soup and wings. The soup came out with the wings. The wings were sauced with NO sides/dipping sauce. Upon completion of lunch. The soup was just ok. I wouldn't order again. The wings were good. A bit pricey, but I would order again. The pie was amazing. Note to self. Pie and coffee here. Mississippi Mud Pie. Best. In closing. A good place to meet and greet. Pie and drinks/coffee. Hostess is the best. Wait staff needs improvements. Waited too long for everything. Waited so long my parking meter expired. One hour from the time I sat down until the time I walked out. I had a hour on the meter when I walked in. read more

The wait wasn't long but the food was underwhelming. Burger (ordered med. well) was over done and borderline burnt. The garlic aioli was all mayo- no flavor. Drinks were weak and not well made. Overall a disappointment for a place with such potential. read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers. They all said great things about the dips for their fries so I was excited to try. Looking at the menu I was deciding between the chicken bacon ranch sandwich, the pork belly tacos, or jalapeño burger. I decided to go with the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and got both garlic aioli and raspberry ketchup for my dipping sauce. The service here is a little bit slow. We got here before the lunch rush started and still waited 20 minutes for our meals. Once the food arrived it was worth the wait. My sandwich looked heavenly and the fries were piled high. I immediately tried a fry in the garlic aioli and it was everything I could have hoped for. The fries are perfectly salted and pair well with the dips. The raspberry ketchup was good but my tastebuds craved more of the garlic aioli. The sandwich was delicious as well and I truly enjoyed it. Everything about the meal was great and I would definitely return here to try out some different items. My coworkers all enjoyed their meals. One got the Carolina Dip sandwich and it looked amazing so may give that a try next. read more

The Trapeze is a wonderful experience. Completely authentic Athens and much more. Could not recommend this place more. If you are in Athens you need to eat at Trapeze! read more

Much better places to eat in athens! The emphasis here is NOT on the food. Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere!

Very average. It can get crowded, but I think it's more of the location. The food is not bad, but not great. When I lived in Athens, there were very few vegetarian or vegan options, but that may have changed. Friendly staff. read more

I came here for a couple drinks with my friends and a light meal, and it was a wonderful experience. Even though it was very hot outside, our server, Logan, made sure to take good quick care of us, and made sure to bring us all of our food and drinks within a timely manner. He was kind and cheerful and definitely made for a better experience. I had the pimento cheese platter, and some fries along with a double pig sandwich, which I very much enjoyed. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Sat at a bar alcove which was cool. Ordered the cheese plate and a burger. Asked for one to come out first at you usually do with an appetizer. Both came out at the same time. Burger was decent but the fries were room temp and mushy. The cheese plate looked very thrown together and quite a mess. There was a small amount of cheese (top left in the picture). Tasted ok but there was a very small amount of cheese but a lot of crackers you get at Chinese food restaurants. By the time I got to the burger it was barely warm which was frustrating. I should have asked them to take it back but didn't want to be rude read more

Athens may be a college town, but Trappeze is more than just any ol' college pub. I can see why Trappeze is so popular - the draught beer list is diverse and unique, the food menu is enticing, and the setting creates the right mood. In my estimation, the Belgian fries were the star of the show. Fries, piled on with just about everything everywhere, are so often taken for granted as a basic uninspired side. Not so here. What exactly is a Belgian fry anyway? Well, here are a few qualifiers: They are freshly cut (skin on) and irregularly shaped. They are fried not once, but twice - making them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They're relatively thick - though not as thick as steak fries. These golden delights were lightly flecked with flaky salt and very tasty on their own, but Trappeze did not stop there - dip those suckers in raspberry ketchup, roasted garlic aioli, or bleu cheese sauce (my favorite). Now we're talking. One may want to take a look at the Rosemary & Garlic Fries touted as being the best fries in Athens. Now you've seen it folks, a whole paragraph devoted to fries. Ordering the Trappeze Dubbel offers diners the opportunity to try 2 out 3 available small plate options (an Asian Pork Taco, Slider Burger, or Pulled Pork Slider). My wife did just that. I ordered the Pub Burger. Truly, how I feel about a pub is weighed on the strength of their burger (if they offer one). Trappeze's Pub Burger was topped with house made pickles, caramelized onions, provolone, arugula, and mayo on a cornmeal coated bun. The burger was cooked to order just right and tasted fresh. I enjoyed the house made pickles and caramelized onions. I didn't quite care for the arugula though - the taste was bitter and the stems were annoying. I would have preferred a leafier green like romaine. Overall, a decent burger. Oh, I also ordered a cup of their Beer and Cheddar Soup. While it tasted alright, I'm not sure it came together very well. Rather than the cheese melting in to a creamy consistency, the cheddar formed tiny little globules creating an almost gritty texture. Nothing special. Anyways, the Trappeze is certainly worth a visit. Grab a seat, quaff down a few local or exotic brews, nosh on some Belgian fries, and most importantly - enjoy the company of others. Good times. read more

This place kind of missed the mark for us. We usually go to Highwire, the bar attached next door, and have a good experience. However the bartender we got on a Saturday afternoon was just super awkward. We ordered a cheese plate which we've done on several occasions while sitting on the other side but for some reason the baguette come toasted this time. And boy was it toasted. Break your tooth toasted. I requested some that weren't and it was fine. However we did leave after our appetizer, we didn't want to sit through an entire awkward meal. read more

I give this place one more star than my previous review because I tried something tonight that made up for it :) THE ANGUS BURGER. If you're a fan of Five Guys Burger and Fries---this is a step up from it. You get swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, field greens, tomatoes, all on top of a juicy patty of beef and a grilled onion bun. Do I have your mouth watering yet? YUM! I subbed the regular fries for sweet potato fries. Keep in mind if you ARE getting the fries don't expect, crispy, thin cut fries. Instead, they are medium cut and NOT crispy....I wouldn't say soggy but definitely NOT crispy. Take what you will of that. Overall I kinda liked the second time around. There were a few beers I didn't know I'd like or not so I got to "sample" them in shot glasses before I ordered them. Pretty decent overall. I still won't give them 5 stars because I feel like the food still isn't up to par (*especially the fries) but whatever! I'm a fan! Service was amazing as always---they really ONLY hire the best servers around! read more

Had a great meal there last night with a group of 12. They sat us at a big square table rather than a long rectangle. Very cool. I had catfish and chips and an Original Sin Cider. Everything was really, really good. The cider was new to me, and was surprisingly fruity. I'd recommend it to cider fans. The catfish was maybe the best I've ever had. It was cooked and seasoned so perfectly! It didn't need a sauce or anything. I ate it with the arugula it was served on. My fries were fine, but others at the table who choice the flavored fries like rosemary garlic raved about them. The fish was the star for me. read more

When we first arrived at Trappeze Pub, the hostess who greeted us and the first waitress who poured our waters could not have been more cranky. And then the night was saved by the next (male) waiter - he was fun; calm, obviously overworked. He made our evening - hard to do after driving 10 hours from DC to see the campus. Because of him and my delicious glass of wine am I giving Trappeze 5 stars read more

Ordered the mint waffles for Sunday brunch! The honey whip on the waffles were to die for! The mint is super strong so I'd probably ask them to leave it out if you don't like a strong herb flavor. Service was also up to par; she consistently refilled our drinks & made sure we had everything we needed even though we were all the way in the corner of the restaurant! 10/10 would return. Tip: It can get super busy so try to reserve a table ahead of time if possible! read more

I'm not sure why there is a 4 star rating. The beer selection was small and didn't really have great options. They just looked good on paper. The server was just not that attentive, just didn't seem to care. The burger I ordered medium well was beyond well done. I should have just got a farm fresh burger from the tent that was set up at Creature Comfort. We won't be back...and my friends are telling me I shouldn't trust Yelp so much. Haha read more

Great atmosphere...somewhere between a dive bar and a gastropub. The turkey sandwich was very tasty, along with the homemade chips. The service at lunch was great, although they messed up my order and I had to wait an extra 10 minutes. They gave me a 50% discount on my order, so I made it up to the server on his tip. The next time I'm in Athens, I'll probably go back hfor lunch.here for lunch. read more

This is for sure one of the best places to grab a quality beer in Athens and will definitely be a place to find the top belgian taps. I haven't been here at primetime and we came in on a weekend afternoon and had one of their really cool booths all to ourselves. The staff was real nice and when I find myself in Athens I always stop in here for a beer. read more

I was here for a short trip some time ago. It was conveniently located from holiday inn so it was easy to find. The whole reason i am writing this review is the bartender. (Not sure if it is different or same every night). He not only answered my questions (i know nothing about beers) but made me try at least 3 or 4 types of beer before i ordered. I was amazed. Thank you! My experience here was so much fun! read more

Amazing food with even better service! The Caesar salad was one of the best I have ever had.

Ate here for the third time today. We love this place! The best thing about Trappeze is the nice ambience and cool atmosphere, not to mention how good their food is. The person I came with claims it's the best food he's ever had in Athens. Our server (Bren B) recommended that I try the pulled pork slider with chili glaze, and although I've never had pulled pork and don't usually like cabbage, it was to die for. Couldn't even taste the cabbage. The burger slider I got was good even though I usually don't like pimento cheese!! The trout with grits was delicious too. I recommend trying the raspberry ketchup if you get fries. It's honestly not as expensive as it seems, and runs about $35 for two people assuming you don't drink. Good prices considering the quality of the food! Make sure you try this place if you haven't before. read more

Trappeze has a great, constantly rotating, beer selection. Their menu, mainly pub style food, is actually very good. The atmosphere is casual, downtown Athens, with a bit of a hippie feel.

What a find! I was glad my friend suggested a drink after dinner. Trappeze is exactly what a pub should be. No television. No "light" beers. Just a great place for hanging out and having a great conversation over a drink. Tons of beers on tap. Tons of craft brews by the bottle. Lambics, mead, cider... And the staff & bartenders are veritable experts. Trappeze Pub: yet another cool thing about Athens. read more
